Plastic Intalox Saddle Product Description

The Plastic Intalox Saddle is a high-performance random packing whose saddle-shaped design represents a fundamental improvement over traditional ring packings. Manufactured from heat-resistant and chemically resistant thermoplastics—including PP, PE, PVC, CPVC, and PVDF—it features a unique arched structure with rectangular contact surfaces at both ends. This design prevents the packing from interlocking or entangling, ensuring optimal randomness and surface area within the packed bed. The internal fingers, arches, and vanes promote intimate gas-liquid contact with minimal drag or holdup. Compared to plastic Pall rings, the Intalox Saddle delivers higher flux and lower pressure drop with comparable or better mass transfer efficiency. It is extensively used in scrubbing towers, absorption columns, stripping units, and cooling towers across the petrochemical, chemical, chlor-alkali, and environmental protection industries, manufactured in accordance with HG/T 21556.3-1995 standard.

Product Highlights

• Higher Capacity than Pall Rings: The saddle geometry provides a larger void space and freer gas flow path, delivering higher flux and lower pressure drop than equivalent-size Pall rings.
• Anti-Nesting & Anti-Bridging Design: Rectangular contact surfaces at both ends prevent packing pieces from interlocking or overlapping, maintaining uniform porosity throughout the bed.
• Excellent Liquid Distribution: The arched liquid channels and internal vanes promote uniform liquid spreading and high liquid holdup, ensuring good absorption efficiency even in slow chemical reactions.
• Wide Material Range: Available in PP, RPE, PE, PVC, CPVC, PVDF, and PTFE to suit operating temperatures from ≤60°C (PVC) up to ≤200°C (PTFE).
• Low Sensitivity to Distribution Quality: The versatile standard packing design tolerates conventional liquid distributors and is less sensitive to liquid and vapor maldistribution than high-performance structured packings.
• Proven in Demanding Services: Successfully deployed in dewaxed oil refined extraction, methane and benzene anhydride refining, flue gas scrubbing, and RTO heat recovery systems.
